Bold Children.

1t il surprising how bold young chill
dren become. They practice their
boldness so frequently that it often
leads to the commission of crime. A
friend related story to me the other
day about bright, handsome little
miss of ten summers, who visited a
Broadway bakery and told the clerk
that a lady near by had sent her for
some cakes, and that she would call
and pay for them that evening. The
accommodating clerk rather reluct-
antly gave the child the goods after re-
lating her story to the proprietor. The
girl ran across the street to a conven-
lent doorway, and, to the surprise of
the clerk, who had been watching her,
the young miss opened the paper and,
taking out the cakes, proceeded leis-
urely to devour them, casting the pa
per in which they were wrapped into
the street. The lady whom the child
said had sent her for the cakes was
surprised and indignant when told
what had taken place. She said she
had not sent the child, and knew moth
ing about such a transaction. In fact,
the lady did not live where the young
thief claimed she did, having removed
from the locality several days pre-
vious. The young criminals audacity
is astonishing and somewhat remarka-
BILE. The clerk, who, by the way, is a
young lady of several years exper-
ience in her business, was completely
taken back. To think that child of
that tender age should impose upon
her credulity completely uunerved her,
Hereafter her customers will be served
for spot cash. She will not listen to
even the innocent pleadings of school
children. Argus.

Preserved i'm Sea Water.

The capability of sea water as pre-
servative is shown by the fact that
among the articles recovered from
vessels sunk in the harbor of Vigo,
Spain, in 1902, there have been re-
covered specimens of logwood and
mahogany that, Notwithstanding their
184 years submersion, are in the most
perfect state of preservation. Dyers
who have experimental with the log
wood state that it is even better for
dyeing purposes than the wood now
imported. The mahogany, too. is very
fine and solid, one log twelve feet long
and twenty-five by thirty-two inches
square being subsequently worked up
in the shape of furniture and walking
sticks as mementos. The chief object
of interest, however, is an ancient
pulley block four and one-half feet
high and three feet broad, with four
solid copper sheaves eighteen inches
in diameter. 1t is of solid oak, and
was probably used in hoisting heavy
articles of merchandise or the anchors.
The wood is perfectly preserved, but
an iron band is completely corroded
away, while the copper wheels are but
slightly oxidized.

They Were knowing Beasts.

During the month of May, 1S45, if
memory be right, on the passage from
Boston to Charleston, says writer in
the Saoiss Cross, Mr.. Drinkwater,
mate of the ship, told me this story:
my father owned horse and dog
between whom there was warm affec-
ton. The dog slept in the stable.
The horse had a troublesome habit
when in harness of getting the reins
under his tail and then holding them
tightly. To cure this habit the sinews
under the tail were cut, and when the
horse was in the stable the tail was
strained up by means of a cord pass
ing over pulley in the ceiling over
head. In this manner the horse was
secured the night after the cutting and
the stable was properly closed. In
the morning the cord was found cut,
the tail free, and the horse at his ease
''Who had meddled? Who had cut
that cordP Diligent inquiry was made,
but no one knew anything about it.
The tail was roped up again, and at
evening everything was right in the
stable; but in the morning again the
cord was found cut and the horse at
his ease in the stall. No one could ex-
fore closing the stable my father hid
himself where he could see the horse,
determined to solve the mystery.
all was quiet, the dog rose, looked
around, jumped on to the back of the
horse, and with his teeth cut the cord
that kept his friend in pain"
A gentleman in Massachusetts once
told me the following story, and the
style of the man should be mentioned
as part of the scene. The narrator
was tall and muscular, of manly, al
most noble, presence: He said:
Il once owed my life to the good
will of horse, and it was thus: / was

out into the crust. They would not

An Oddity.

The Laureate sat in baronial hail.
And the dim light fell on the tapestried wall;
1t fell on the banners of gold cloth
Ancestral banners of modern growth:
A gleam OH his classic features rolled.
And he grasped his quill like Baron bold,
'.I'll write me a poem,' he bravely cried,
I'll write me poem, y and then he sighed,
"A beautiful poem and call it an ode
A Jubilee poem-Iwill blythe Rood.
For it wasn't an ode twas an oddity-
He squared the paper before his breast,
The paper that bore the family crest,
That ancient crest of high renOwn-
While the dim light danced DER his lordly
crown.
A grand inspiration he meant this to be,
So he took for his subject and title She.
And thought out the ode on the great Jubilee.
But it wasn't an ode twas an Oddity.
Then he carved away on the paper with will,
He carved away with his trusty QUILL
Till the words flew out and the adjectives rose,
Till the metaphors mixed; then he blew his
And he thought in his heart of hearts it was
But said he to himself, there's nobody knows.
1 don't care one aristocratical jot,
Whether it's reason or whether its rot;
The gullible public will swallow the lot,
As they did when the Old and the New Year
And told them stood on a Tower in the
Wet"
For it wasn't an ode, twas an oddity.
Still he tore away like very Turk,
Till his royal pen refused to work,
And the spluttering point in consequence,
Brought the Laureate back to common sense
So he finished the ode and he buttoned his coat,
He buttoned it up to his very throat;
Then he called for his valet of high degree
And unto that valet he said-said he,
Take all these precious MSS.
And bear them hence to the printing press"
Then he donned his chapeau without any more
words,
And made a bee-line for the House of
Lords.
